Imperfection

It’s very hard for me to admit that I’m not good/talented/successful at something.  As a child and even now as an adult, I often avoid those things that I do not do well.  Why is that? I think one reason I act this way is because I am a perfectionist.  If I can’t be perfect, then I don’t want to do it, because doing it less than perfectly awakens all sorts of ugly, unworthy emotions inside. But God is showing me the true meaning of: 37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and … Continue reading Imperfection

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.”Psalm 4:8 I came across this verse last night during my daily Bible reading. After I read the day’s selections (slated to get me to finish the Bible in a year’s time), I promptly fell peacefully asleep, as the verse — and my heart — professed. Zzzzzzzzzz An hour later, my legs jerked me awake.  I do not use the term “jerked” lightly.  The episode begins with a tingling and muscle contraction in the tip of my tongue and around my mouth.  Then a … Continue reading Should A Christian Get Acupuncture Therapy?
